Ras Jadir, December 24, 2025 – The Western Border Region Investigations Office, affiliated with the Criminal Investigations Apparatus, confirmed that traffic movement at the Ras Jadir border crossing with Tunisia is experiencing severe congestion these days.
The office attributed the noticeable overcrowding, in a statement, to the coincidence of the holiday period with increased tourist activity and the launch of the “Douz” festival events on the Tunisian side; which led to a simultaneous influx of large numbers of Libyan travelers.
The office confirmed that it is working in coordination with all security agencies operating at the crossing to organize the movement of travelers and ensure its flow according to available capabilities. The statement clarified that the slow traffic movement within the passages sometimes forces the security authorities to temporarily stop travelers outside the procedures area; to avoid congestion inside the crossing and ensure the safety of families and travelers.
The statement indicated that these measures come within the framework of organizational and field work, and are not due to any negligence by the security agencies, confirming the continuation of efforts until traffic returns to normal.
The apparatus called on travelers to exercise the highest levels of discipline and cooperation with security personnel, and to consider the current circumstances, especially with the presence of humanitarian cases among travelers including the sick, elderly, and children.
